The getCollationElementIterator() method of java.text.RuleBasedCollator class is used to get the object of collation element iterator for the given character iterator object.
Syntax:
public CollationElementIterator getCollationElementIterator(CharacterIterator source)
Parameter: This method accepts the character iterator object as a parameter.
Return Value: This method returns the object of collation element iterator for the given string.
Below are the examples to illustrate the getCollationElementIterator() method:
Example 1:
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] argv)
{
try {
String simple
= "< a < b < c < d" ;
RuleBasedCollator col
= new RuleBasedCollator(simple);
StringCharacterIterator obj
= new StringCharacterIterator( "Geeks" );
CollationElementIterator key
= col.getCollationElementIterator(obj);
System.out.println(
"CollationElementIterator is : "
+ key);
}
catch (ClassCastException e) {
System.out.println( "Exception thrown : " + e);
}
catch (ParseException e) {
System.out.println( "Exception thrown : " + e);
}
}
}

Example 2:
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] argv)
{
try {
String simple
= "< a < b & a < c" ;
RuleBasedCollator col
= new RuleBasedCollator(simple);
StringCharacterIterator obj
= new StringCharacterIterator( "ABCDEF" );
CollationElementIterator key
= col.getCollationElementIterator(obj);
System.out.println(
"CollationElementIterator is : "
+ key);
}
catch (ClassCastException e) {
System.out.println( "Exception thrown : " + e);
}
catch (ParseException e) {
System.out.println( "Exception thrown : " + e);
}
}
}
